Jordan Bastian, of BlueJays.MLB.com, reports Toronto Blue Jays SP John Thomson was told by Blue Jays' pitching coach Brad Arnsberg that there wasn't a spot for him in their bullpen and it's not feasible that he would be the club's fourth or fifth pitcher in the rotation.

Bluejays.MLB.com reports the Toronto Blue Jays are frustrated with Team Venezuela because it has not used RP Gustavo Chacin as promised in the World Baseball Classic. "We're to the point now that if they aren't going to use him, I wish they'd send him home," Blue Jays pitching coach Brad Arnsberg said. "I really wish that because we could get him in shape here."
